My drill with my .458 Winchester was to shoot 2-3 shots off a rest at a 100 yard target, then run to the 100 yard backstop and back, then do 2 shots at a 50 yard target from a position or braced up against something, then I would do 2 quick shots at a 25 yard target standing, unsupported. I screwed up the 25 yard standing shot the most. The purpose of this drill was to learn to shoot this big bore when the blood was pumping. The result: a 1 shot kill on a Cape buffalo.

The last bit of my regimine occurred in March in central Alberta. I was ready for that 18 inches of Zimbabwean snow. I had heard that it was much heavier than Canadian snow.
